Shakti with John McLaughlin
A Handful Of Beauty (Remaster) (1976)
(C) 1977 sony Music Entertainment Inc.\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nShakti headed for the safer confines of a London recording studio on its second album, minus \nR. Raghavan and minus some of the volatile energy that they generated on their debut record. \nThey were, however, a more integrated, more subtle ensemble now, exploring quieter, more lyrical \ncorners of their East-West fusion, with L. Shankar's spectacular violin and Zakir Hussain's tabla \ntaking the solo foreground as much as, if not more than, McLaughlin's acoustic guitar. With the \nexception of an arrangement of a traditional South Indian piece "Kriti," McLaughlin and Shankar \ncontribute all of the compositions, which lean even more heavily toward South Indian music with \nreminders of McLaughlin's Western roots. As a whole, this is less accessible to McLaughlin's \njazz-rock flock than the first Shakti album, but still fascinating for contemporary listeners with a yen \nfor world music, as well as curious stragglers from the classical Indian world dominated by Ravi \nShankar (another indefatigable champion of East-West fusions).\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nArtists :\n\nJohn McLaughlin (guitar)\nL. Shankar (violin)\nZakir Hussain (tabla)\nT.H.Vinayalaram (ghatam, mridangam)\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
